It is the mission of the ALIGN BALLET METHOD to revolutionize the culture of adult ballet training by deeply focusing on each students unique potential. We are real ballet for real people with a shot of pure positive energy! We believe in coaching every students to the best of their abilities and always consider personal limitations with compassion. Our ALIGN 1 workshop enables adult beginners to learn the fundamentals of a classical ballet barre in six one-hour classes. ALIGN 2 workshops build on those fundamentals, allowing students to learn progressions across the floor and dance without the barre. After completing the workshop levels students may further progress in our open ALIGN 2, 3, and pointe classes. Sound impossible? Since the beginning of the ALIGN BALLET METHOD in 2012, we have helped hundreds successfully learn the proper technique and form of classical ballet. Many of our beginners in the past are now dancing in pointe shoes and dancing at other major ballet company schools during their travels. There is no intimidation factor here. We create a supportive and non-competitive environment. Each class is still technically-focused and enables each student to progress. We are challenging but our classes are designed to quickly accelerate your potential. The ALIGN BALLET METHOD is a new approach to the ballet studio–we place your success and satisfaction as our highest priority.

Kathleen, who teaches the Monday night Novice is class is great. She works with students to help them learn how to feel what their body is doing. She takes time to explain each movement and step. You won’t get a very intense workout from this class, but you will start learning how to do the steps. Only once has there been anyone younger than college age in the class.

(She is also great and working around injury and stresses not pushing through pain and limits).

I wish the class was a full 90 minutes and that the studio had its adult classes participate in recitals (and that it was closer than an hour train ride).

Ballet and dance studio in the heart of NYC. Amazing classes at a variety of levels from beginner to advanced/pro level with thoughtful instructors.

My favorite teachers are Kathryn Sullivan, Stuart Loungway and Jamie Salmon who are alums of SAB, Joffrey Ballet and Boston Ballet. The classes are quite advanced for each level so I would recommend starting a level lower than you’re used to and work up.
